She wasn’t used to troubling others, so after a moment of contemplation, she quickly typed, “It’s not necessary to go through so much trouble. Just send me the address, and I’ll go there by myself.”
“That’s not acceptable!”
Ivan became anxious, “You’re my brother’s wife. If I don’t pick you up, not only will James break my legs when he wakes up, but our parents will definitely break my legs too!”
Lily was amused by Ivan’s exaggerated words.
He continued typing, “Lily, are you up? Tell me a time, and I’ll come to pick you up after you’re ready.”
“Tonight.”
Perhaps it was because she had experienced too little warmth, Lily wasn’t good at refusing others’ kindness.
She also didn’t want the Luke family to know about her hospitalization and decided to contact Ivan after she was discharged in the afternoon.
“I’ll call you then.”
“Okay! I’m free all day today. Lily, don’t forget to call me!”
Seeing Lily agree to let him pick her up, Ivan was extremely delighted, “From now on, Lily, you can call me anytime you need something. I promise to be available at your beck and call, or else our grandparents will break my legs too!”
Lily let out a helpless chuckle.
Why did everyone want to break his legs?
She also increasingly felt that the Luke family must be very warm-hearted.
However, thinking about living together with James after getting our marriage certificate, even though he was in a vegetative state, she was still a bit nervous.
Just… treat James as a piece of wood.
After all, the doctor had said that he would most likely never wake up in his lifetime!
In the afternoon, after Lily finished the hospital discharge procedures and was about to pack up and leave, Wayne unexpectedly knocked on the door and walked in.
“Hello, I’m Wayne, the president’s special assistant at Jones Corp. I’m here to discuss the compensation matters with you. You… Ms. Ginger?”
Before Wayne could finish his sentence, he realized that the person standing in front of the hospital bed was Lily, and he was so shocked that his eyes widened instantly.
I knew that Mr. John had never wanted to break up with Ms. Ginger.
Or rather, the person Mr. John cared about the most was actually Ms. Ginger.
But after this rear-end collision, Mr. John had been by Ms. Elsa’s side without leaving, and although Ms. Ginger was also hospitalized, he had completely ignored her. How would Ms. Ginger feel about that?
If I were Ms. Ginger, I would definitely break up with Mr. John!
Thinking that he still had to negotiate the compensation on behalf of Mr. John with Ms. Ginger, he awkwardly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“Ms. Ginger, how are you? Are you seriously injured? Mr. John he…”
Wayne wanted to say that John actually still cared about her.
However, thinking about how he had just passed by the next room and seen John thoughtfully feeding Elsa soup, he couldn’t bring himself to say those words.
“Mild concussion, I’m fine now.”
Lily was aware of Wayne’s purpose.
She didn’t want to put him in a difficult situation, so she directly said, “Mr. Wayne, you have my WhatsApp number and you know my card number. You can transfer the compensation via PayPal or deposit it into my bank account.”
Elsa was fully responsible for this accident.
In this incident, due to Elsa’s reckless actions, my car was damaged, and I also felt unwell. No matter who paid on Elsa’s behalf, I deserved this compensation, and I naturally wouldn’t pretentiously refuse to accept it.
“Alright.”
After hearing Lily’s words, Wayne’s expression became even more awkward.
“Mr. John said he would compensate each of you with 140,000 dollars. I’ll transfer the money to Ms. Ginger’s account shortly.”
Lily thought. A hundred and forty thousand dollars per person…
John was really generous.
He must have gone to great lengths to ensure Elsa wouldn’t be held responsible.
“Mr. Wayne, you can go back now. I’ve finished the discharge procedures and I’m heading back as well.”
Lily had to go to the Luke family’s place soon and didn’t want to waste any more time.
However, Wayne didn’t leave immediately.
He awkwardly scratched his short hair and said, “Ms. Ginger, the reason Mr. John didn’t come to see you in the hospital because he didn’t know you were also in the accident.
Mr. John really cares about you. I’ll tell Mr. John you’re here-right now, and he’ll definitely come to see you immediately.”
As Wayne spoke, he reached for his phone to call John.
Lily stopped him.
Earlier, Ivan had sent me a photo of mine and James’s wedding certificate.
James and I are now legally a married couple.
I don’t want to continue entangling myself with John.
“There’s no need to tell John about my hospitalization. I meant it when I said I wanted to break up with him. I’m willing to accept the compensation he’s offering on Elsa’s behalf. I don’t have any evidence that Elsa deliberately caused this rear-end collision, so I can’t sue her. But I’ll only accept the compensation and I don’t want to be disturbed by him anymore.”
“This…”
Wayne adjusted his glasses again.
However, seeing Lily’s distant and resolute attitude, he didn’t press the issue further.
Thinking about today being Mr. John’s birthday, after a long silence, he still couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Ginger, today is Mr. John’s birthday. He must be looking forward to you celebrating his birthday. Why don’t you give Mr. John a call and personally…”
“Mr. Wayne.”
Lily coolly interrupted Wayne’s words, “People need to move on. I don’t have a particular fondness for celebrating my ex-boyfriend’s birthday. Moreover, with Elsa around, I’m sure she’d be more than happy to celebrate his birthday for him. Mr. Wayne, you can go now.”
Wayne’s lips moved.
He wanted to say that John wouldn’t agree to the breakup.
Moreover, Mr. John was always particularly delighted when he received birthday gifts from Ms. Ginger every year,
Although Mr. John had a cold, aloof demeanor, he would actually smile foolishly at the gifts from Ms. Ginger.
However, seeing Lily’s determination to cut ties with John and that she had effectively asked him to leave, he decided it wasn’t appropriate to say some things and left first.
After spending a night in the hospital room, there really wasn’t much to pack up.
After Wayne left, Lily folded the quilt on the bed and grabbed her phone to leave.
John, the soup you cooked is so delicious. I want to have it again tomorrow morning.”
Lily didn’t expect that as soon as she walked out of the hospital room, she would hear Elsa’s coquettish voice.
The door to the neighboring hospital room was wide open.
She instinctively looked into the room following the sound.
John was holding a bowl of soup in his hand, gently and patiently feeding Elsa, “Okay, I’ll cook it for you again tomorrow morning. Besides soup, what else would you like to eat tomorrow morning?”
Elsa playfully hugged his arm. At this moment, her usual coldness was gone, and she seemed like a spoiled little girl.
She puffed out her cheeks and ordered, “I also want to eat John’s Saut?ed Green Beans, braised pork, braised pork…
She listed more than ten dishes in a row.
After listing them, she stuck her tongue out playfully, “John, did I order too much? Cooking is very troublesome. If you think it’s too much trouble, you don’t have to cook for me.”
Lily heard him say in a gentle voice, “It’s not troublesome.”
It was then that she realized he actually knew how to cook!
